Terraza Roma由一个户外空间组成，它被改造成现有住宅楼的屋顶，旨在为墨西哥城罗马社区的一个公寓的上层露台创造一个平静和可居住的空间。
Terraza Roma comprises an outdoor space transformed into the rooftop of an existing residential building, which seeks to create a calm and habitable space for the upper terrace of an apartment in Mexico City’s Roma neighborhood.
该项目由两个主要空间开发，第一个空间通过一连串的巨大的墙体创造出一个走廊，增加了隐私和独特的规模，同时也是绿色植物的家，使屋顶通道具有连续性。这些墙壁被混合的油漆和颜料覆盖，以达到生锈的效果，被设想为一个城市的废墟。设计策略被认为是整合了低维护的材料和饰面，这些材料和饰面可以很好地老化，并能抵抗恶劣的天气，随着时间的推移，这将提高项目的个性。当走在这条混凝土走廊上时，茂盛的植被和粘土花盆创造了一个微气候，将用户拥入一个舒适的沙漠般的环境。沿着走廊往下走，第二个空间被发现是一个半室内的客厅，具有模块化的金属结构，它的碳化木屋顶非常突出。
The project is developed by two main spaces, the first one gives continuity to the roof access through a sequence of massive walls creating a corridor that gives increased privacy with a distinct scale, while also being the home to the greenery. Those walls were covered with a mix of paints and pigments to achieve a rusty finish, envisioned as an urban ruin. The design strategy was considered to integrate low-maintenance materials and finishes that would age well and could resist inclement weather, which improves the personality of the project as time goes by. While walking this concrete corridor, the lush vegetation and clay planters create a micro-climate that embraces the user into a cozy desert-like environment. Further down the corridor, the second space is discovered as a semi-indoor living room, featuring a modular metallic structure that stands out by its carbonized wooden roof.
在这个元素之下，该项目为客人提供了一个永恒而宽敞的场所，包括一个沉思的花园、工作空间和休息区等各种用途。最引人注目的特点之一是整合了内部设计和制造的物品，如一个浇铸混凝土柜台和一个悬挂的生锈钢壁炉。这些元素得到了与用户合作选择的中世纪家具和艺术品的支持和补充。穿过露台的是一面墙，它是一个视觉特征，上面覆盖着蓝赭色的渐变颜料，与定义该项目的 “深褐色氛围 “形成对比。在一侧，支撑结构的细长柱子产生了自然框架，并提供了城市天际线的有趣景观。
Beneath this element, the project offers a timeless and spacious place for guests to enjoy with various uses including a contemplative garden, workspace, and lounge area. One of the most striking features is the integration of in-house designed and manufactured objects, such as a casted-concrete counter and a suspended rusting-steel fireplace. These elements are supported and complemented by Mid-century furniture and art selected in collaboration with the user. Crossing the terrace is located a single wall that functions as a visual feature, which is covered with a bluish-ochre gradient pigment to create a contrast with the “sepia-like ambiance” that defines the project. On one side, the slim columns that support the structure generate natural frames and offer interesting views over the city’s skyline.
